Drake saw Neith drop and rushed over with Amy. He pulled out a fresh bottle of water and with the help of Amy helped get Neith into a chair. Drakes nerves were shaken as he stayed close to the two.

" oh wait, i have a gray tea that is good for relaxing." He said fumbling to get the teabat out.

"Do you think we can make it on the go?" Amy asked, trying to fan Neith with her hands. "I can try to carry her while you make it but we really really really need to leave." Amy looked back to the others for support. Surely they realized how much danger they were in! Amy tried to cover her face when she realized people were taking pictures of them. "The longer we stay here the more evidence we were here gets uploaded to the internet. We need to leave."

Palila was still thinking through what I had said when Neith collapsed.

"S***." I said in a panic, as Amy and Drake tended to Neith, before Cody piped up.

"I agree with Sophie." He explained, "Roark said that we can't go east from here, which means the only way out of here is west. If we stay here and Team Galactic have time to mobilize, you guys are trapped."

"Look Palila, I don't like making ultimatums, but s*** has gotten real, and we have to go. Are you coming?" I explained, "I will keep trying to call Professor Rowan about your card, but right now, Renny has made it unsafe for us to stay."

I left Palila to make the decision before getting the attention of the others, and making sure there was enough money on the table to cover our food, before ushering the rest of the group out, where Renny was still waiting for us.

Part of me wanted to say something to him, but knew it would just cause problems right now. Instead I addressed the group.

"Let's get out of here. We will talk details once we are outside the city."

Matthias watched the TV with his jaw dropping further and further.

Video footage! His name! Being called shifty! Calling out Team Galactic!

'Nope. These guys are more trouble than they are worth! I'll find my own way home!'

Matthias slipped away from the the table as everyone was talking. He made his way to the exit and slipped outside. Checking his map he started to make his way East to get outside the city before this situation got too far out of hand.

First things first. He headed to the Pokemon Center to gather his things and get his Pokemon healed.

This whole 'team' thing was not his way. Let the others play 'Hero'.

"Yo, Shiftry boy! Don't tell me you're having a breakdown too?" a voice called out.

Matthias turned and saw Palila running up.

He smiled and waved at her.

"Hi Palila, Not a breakdown, more a revelation. It seems that it might be time to get out of town for a bit. This group of trainers have gone from 'slightly toxic' to 'outright dangerous and calling out terrorist groups'. I thought I might head out and find the next town with a gym and see how I go."

Matthias shrugged, "I am supposed to be the group's 'Scout', so I guess I am going to do some scouting. It is probably safer than hanging around at the moment."

Amy lifted Neith onto her back while Palila provided the distraction. She’d have to thank her later but that could wait until things settled down. Focusing on keeping her breathing and pace steady, Amy followed after Sophie. She barely glanced at Renny, the man bearing no importance at the moment. Later, maybe, but not for now. “Like I mentioned earlier,” she said, “if I have everyone’s sizes I can buy us all clothes in one of the stores in Jubilife. I’m apparently so insignificant to this kid that he forgot to include me, which works to our benefit for sure. I can buy supplies. Or should we proceed straight towards Floroma Town? I don’t know if we can make it there by nightfall but I’m not familiar with the area here.”

Amy glanced over as Palila approached. Oh good, perfect timing. Perhaps she could thank her now. She glanced over her shoulder at Neith as Palila talked her. The girl didn't seem to be doing well but who was she to judge. She'd let Neith speak for herself. Then Palila turned her attention to her. Amy's eye twitched at the nickname. She mentally willed herself to be nice. Palila had just done her a favor after all.

"Please, I don't like nicknames," she replied quietly. "As for the roles, yeah I have one. I'm the Kecleon. It means I'm supposed to blend in with crowds and either gather information for us or, in this situation, get us supplies while we're fleeing from terrorists." Amy smiled at Palila and said, "I wouldn't be too hung up on it though. The only reason most of us right now have them is because we all happened to land near the same place so Professor Rowan just gave them to us when he met us. Since I have no doubt he's trying to get you your Trainer ID card soon, I'm sure you'll get a role as well." She chuckled. "Perhaps the role of Zoroark would fit you well, since you seem to be very good at causing distractions. Thanks for that by the way. I hate cameras."

Neith was only vaguely aware as she was lifted to a chair, then out of the restaurant. The change in temperature snapped her closer to reality, which was when she realised that she was being carried on Amy’s back.

She felt a surge of emotions. Amy was willing to help her like this She wasn’t alone, and now she knew she could definitely count of Amy. The realisation helped to clear her mind enough to realise that she was having a panic attack.
Ok, focus on something real. Well, that wasn’t too hard; Amy was literally carrying her.

Rae stopped by to ask how she was doing. Neith tried to respond, but found her voice wasn’t working yet.

After a few moments, Amy and Rae began talking. Neith focused on there voices, though she was unable to make out the words. Slowly, her heartbeat began to return to normal.

As the conversation began to lull, Neith tapped Amy lightly on the shoulder.
“I-I think I can stand on my own now.”

Though her legs wobbled at first, after leaning on Amy for a few moments Neith seemed to have her body under control again.

Neith stared at her feet, feeling embarrassed. “I’m sorry about worrying you all.” She looked up at Amy. “Thank you for carrying me. I- I’ve never had a panic attack that bad before.”

Renny looked through the poketch device hoping to see updates about the story. Before the others came out he walked over to the next store and the story was on. Every window he checked was airing the interview. Renny smiled looking at Arrny.
"Now everyone will know about Team Galactic and the legendary pokemon." He said sure that this was a good thing.
Seeing Neith carried out however sent a shock wave through him. He wanted to rush over to check on her but she had people helping her. If this was because of him he couldnt handle it. These people already hated him or didnt actually talk to him. Mathias darted off most likely because he too was upset. While the others walked Renny made a choice. This group was no longer going to work. They had thier own goals and theyd never accept him or what he could bring. So when no one was looking he took off. Vanishing into the city backdrop.

As we left town, and got back to Route 203, the fog of panic left my mind, as I looked around. Neith seemed to be doing better, and surprisingly, Amy and Palila were chatting like two people who could be mistaken for friends. I slowed down the pace slightly, feeling a bit safer.

As this happened, I remembered what I told Palila early, and tried to call the Professor again. This time he picked up.

"Rowan speaking."
"Professor! It's Sophie!" I explained, "We need a bit of help."
"What's wrong?" The professor asked, sounding concerned.
"We have two problems. Firstly, we found another trainer, but she doesn't have a trainer card and can't get accommodation like we can. Could you please organize one for her like you did for us?" I explained, "Her name is Palila Rae."
"I will try and organize one, and have it sent to a Pokemon Center for you to pick up. Where are you heading?"
"We are heading back to Jubilife, then north." I explained.
"I will have it at the Etrana Pokemon Center in two days." The professor explained.
"The other thing..." I muttered, "Renny filmed the attack at the lake, and sent it to a TV station. He did an interview and it aired. Our faces and some of our names were made public, after we made ourselves an enemy of Team Galactic."
I heard the professor sigh, before speaking.
"Lay low for now. I will make some calls and see what I can do about making sure that footage doesn't air again." The professor explained, "For the time being, I will try and figure out what I can about this Team Galactic and will be in touch."
I thanked the professor, and was about to end the call before he spoke up again.
"Also, I need to tell you!" The professor interjected, "Two more wormholes with trainers appeared near the lab! A girl about your age and a boy a few years younger. William and Marina. I have given them both the same as what I gave you. They stayed in Jubilife last night and checked in with Nathan there, so will probably find you soon. Keep an eye out."
@Truly @5TailedDemonLizard

I ended the call, thanking the professor, before approaching Palila.

"I got a hold of the Professor. He will organize a trainer card and have it sent to Etrana Pokemon Center, which is about a day or two from here." I explained, "It will only be one or two nights more of sharing, hopefully."
